Welcome to Trailblazers Dog Walker and Pet Sitter, where every step is an adventure for your furry companions! With a passion for caring for dogs of all ages and needs, we specialize in dog walking and overnight care services.
At Trailblazers Dog Walker and Pet Sitter, we understand the unique requirements of each dog, from puppies in training to senior dogs with limited patience, those with anxiety, and dogs with special needs. Our experience in administering medication and providing tailored care based on emotional needs ensures that your beloved pets are in safe and loving hands.
For over twenty years, I traveled extensively, using many dog boarders who left my dogs alone all night. I hired pet sitters both in my home and in their homes. Some were great, but there were many disappointments especially when my dog had appetite issues due to illness. He would be starvng when I picked him up. After my beloved Brodie passed away, I began working through Rover to fill the void. I absolutely loved the different personalities and giving the pet parents the peace of mind building an outstanding 5 star rating. It made sense to launch my own company because caring for dogs is my bliss. This is a small boutique business that caters to clients not a mass operation. It is important to meet the need of quality and ensure that each dog is not simply getting a quick potty break and then left alone all day and night.
I believe that exercise and love are essential for the well-being of every dog, which is why I prioritize both during our services. Let us be your trusted partner in keeping your dogs happy, healthy, and active.

Client Reviews
Melanie was so wonderful to work with! She paid close attention to Max's needs and preferences following his routine. She observed that Max was a true couch potato, so she relocated her home office to the kitchen during his stay to keep him company! Max is my baby; I know he's well taken care of and is the only dog sitter I use.

Bailey is super sensitive and very intelligent. I had negative experiences in the past. Bailey came home happy and healthy. and tired. Melanie sent lots of great pics and plenty of updates. Now I have peace of mind. I take weekend getaways and book a trip with friends to Cancun.

Finding a sitter for our two dogs had been challenging. They are seniors, fixed in their habits, and sensitive to noises or being rushed. She is a dog-whisper because Harrison was such a good boy. We moved back to NYC for my husband's new job - we are flying Melanie to NYC for two weeks when we go to Paris and two other trips this year.

Melanie watched our 2 dogs last week and I cannot say enough about how wonderful she was with them. She was so attentive to the dogs and gave us lots of updates; she was focused on their schedules, likes, and dislikes. They looked so happy in the photos. We will use her again and highly recommend her. Sarah M. April 12, 2023

Melanie is great with our dogs. She exercises and spoils them with love and homemade chicken jerky while we are away on vacation. We've used her services four times - she is the best!

I recommend Melanie to care for anyone's fur baby., Melanie is a loving person with a big heart for both our dog and accommodating us. It is rare to find anyone who gives such a high-level of service.
